Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,800.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Shannah-Maree Opai must pay [The landlord/s] $3,405.76 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing, represented by [Property Manager]. The hearing was held by video conference. The tenant did not join the conference and so the Tribunal placed a call to the tenant’s mobile so that she could join that way. That call went to voicemail.
I am satisfied that the tenant has been served with the landlord’s application in accordance with the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) and so the hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord had filed an application for termination of the tenancy on the basis that the rent was more than 21 days in arrears.
However in the meantime the tenant has given notice and on that basis the last day of the tenancy is to be 30 June 2025.
The landlord produced a rent summary showing that the tenant owes $5,708.34 in rent due to the end of this rent period (to 20 June 2025).
The landlord also produced water invoices and a statement showing that water arrears are owing for usage to 15 May 2025 in the amount of $470.42.
The amounts ordered are proved.
Because [the landlord] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee of $27.00.
The landlord also seeks an order for name suppression and is entitled to an order for name suppression as the successful party (see section 95A RTA). Potential additional claims by landlord
The tenant will need to continue to pay rent as it falls due for the remainder of the tenancy. I note that, as the tenancy is to end on 30 June 2025, the tenant is liable to pay rent as follows: a. Rent due on 21 June 2025 for the period 21 June – 27 June 2025: $700.00 b. Rent due on 28 June 2025 for the period 28 – 30 June 2025: $300.00.
The landlord said that if the rent for the period for 21 June to the end of the tenancy is not paid they will file an additional claim seeking this amount, together with any further water charges owing to the end of the tenancy.
The landlord also reserved the right to include any additional claims that they consider appropriate once they have taken back possession and have had an opportunity to inspect the property.
I encourage the tenant to contact the landlord to discuss their obligations so that no further claim is required.
